Today's News

On a recent Wednesday morning while waiting for people to return my phone calls, I sat at my desk and attended a church in Granger, Ind.

I found Granger Community Church (“GCC”) while researching T.D. Jakes’ church in Dallas, Texas, The Potter’s House. A Religion feature I’m writing for the paper is about a new local church that’s associated with the Texas church.

As to how I found GCC, a Web site listing the Top 60 church blogs had GCC as blog No. 59 and I clicked on the link.

On Tuesday night, everything was, and was not, settled as the Little League regular season came to end at River Road Park.  Lion’s Club and Kiwanis both finished the year with eye-popping 16-2 records.

Both teams will get byes into the second round in the post-season tournament that got started last night.

Last night, the four teams that finished seventh thru 10th in the regular season standings, played each other in two “play-in” games. Tonight, the eight remaining teams will play four games to determine the tournament semi-finalists.

* Cynthiana Democrat, June 1896 - “The Bridge, Pleasant Street - Ali! What a place to dream. He who has never seen the sunlight shimmer upon the wimpling wave or the long shadows of evening stretching themselves from bank to bank, or the soft shimmering stars come out and mirror themselves in the depths below has never been touched by nature’s great heart throbs. From the heat and turmoil of the day we seek this spot.
